Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, Thompson’s Bookstore is where history, mystery, and romance collide.
Set inside a restored 1900s-era building, this one-of-a-kind venue blends vintage charm with modern elegance across four distinct floors—including a hidden speakeasy tucked behind a bookshelf, an upstairs literary lounge, a cigar lounge, and a private event floor.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a roaring 1920s-themed celebration, or a cocktail-forward rehearsal dinner, Thompson’s sets the perfect scene. Think velvet booths, crystal chandeliers, classic cocktails, and stories whispered through the walls. The space offers an unforgettable setting for couples who want something unexpected yet timeless.
